FARMINGTON — A New Haven woman was charged with sixth-degree larceny and criminal impersonation at Westfarms Mall on Thursday afternoon, the only arrest on the Farmington Police Department's log for the 24 hours ending at 7 a.m. Friday.
Thursday, Oct. 15
2:50 p.m., 500 South Road (Westfarms Mall). Officer Richard E. Bianchi of the Farmington Police Department arrested Ronnisha Amanda Hossen, 38, of New Haven, on two charges: larceny in the sixth degree and criminal impersonation. The remarks line reads "Arrested in connection with Shoplifting. Posted bond." Court date Oct. 29.
Bond on the larceny charge was $2,500, nonsurety. The criminal impersonation charge lists a bond of $.00.
Under state law, sixth-degree larceny means stealing property or services worth $500 or less, and it is a class C misdemeanor. Criminal impersonation is a class A misdemeanor that covers several kinds of pretending, among them impersonating another person to obtain a benefit or to defraud someone.
The log does not say what was taken, from which store, or who or what Hossen is accused of pretending to be.
